Sub-Toxic Krookodile can easily lures normal checks and counters such as Swampert, Chesnaught, Hippowdon, Hydreigon, and others and status's them to get them worn down for a teammate. Substitute is a great safety move on switches considering the amount of switches Krook forces versus Psychics and Ghosts. It also helps Krookodile versus opposing status. Toxic is a never-seen move on Krook, but it is a great move to wear down the usual checks of Krook, namely Water types. The reason why this set is effective in the first place is because of the threat of Krookodile's STAB Earthquake, which decimates the normal switch-ins of Toxic, Steel and Poison types. Knock Off is the great move it is, it really needs to explanation. Roar is an option as well, mainly to keep Crocune out of the way. Of course, it also weaars down mons with hazards.
The rest of the set is pretty standard, Speed EVs to outpace Chandy and Luke, letting you check them pretty well. This set is a great teammate that enjoys weakened Water types, such as Entei, Steel types, such as M-Aerodactyl, or Psychic/Ghost types, such as Mienshao.
So yeah, this set is basically a big middle finger to typical Water type switch-ins :]
